Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the whisked eggs to the pan.
- Use a spatula to swirl the eggs around for a minute to get the runny eggs to the bottom of the pan. Ensure there are no holes in the omelet and let it sit for another minute.
- Scatter the herbs, meat, and cheese over the omelet and cover it with a lid. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Serve as is, or with your favorite hot sauce or a pinch of chili flakes.
Tips
For a vegetarian omelet, swap out spinach or mushrooms for ham.
